Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities existsting in their own spaces, barring illegal content. I am hoping that the new users are coming here with the intent to learn how this community works, before we try to remake the community we just left.
And not to be “reddit” about it, but many of those hateful subreddit communities are very familiar with the concept of having multiple accounts and compartmentalized identities. They often explicitly advise each other to have one account for the hateful subreddits and another account for the rest of non-hateful reddit.
All they are asked to do is… exactly the same duplicitous thing they’ve done forever on reddit. Problem: solved. If they can’t even manage to pull off that charade…
